It's advice that is still relevant today.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Bok's Dollars Only and his autobiography, The Americanization of Edward Bok.American Pulitzer Prize-winning author EDWARD W. BOK (1863-1930) also wrote Two Persons: An Incident and an Epilogue and America Give Me a Chance, among other books.
